Pastor Dubke
Chapel Time with Pastor
Hello! My name is Pastor Dubke, and my family and I are glad to be here at Emmanuel! After receiving a Bachelors in Music and a Masters in Theology, I served as a Pastor in Oregon for 13 years before coming here to Emmanuel church and school. My wife Shannon, son James and daughter Sophia enjoy music and going on adventures together. One of my favorite Bible verses is Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths. |

Amber Palcer
Substitute
I'm Ms. Amber and I am teaching the 1st/2nd combo class this year! I wanted to become a teacher when I was in first grade because I loved school and learning! I have a bachelors degree is Elementary Education and a masters in Reading Education. In the past, I have taught first, second, and fourth grades as well as being a reading interventionist. Outside of teaching, I love to ski, travel, and spend time with my own kids (especially at the baseball field or on the golf course). My goal for every child is for them to use their strengths to grow, develop good habits of resilience when something is harder, and to love the Lord with all their heart, soul, and mind!
